after all, half of the american people, nearly half, voted for mitt romney. now, in terms of the populations, which i am part of, the latino community and others, we need to reach out to that community, but reaching out doesn't mean surrendering your core principles. i love senator rubio. i agree with my colleagues on this. i think he would be a great president for candidate of the united states. of course, there's jeb bush, if he runs, or others or rising stars in the republican party, but i think our problem has been -- and i think lenny used the word -- or matt -- cosmopolitan. i think in a sense when you look at the campaigns a bit, it seemed as though barack obama was hip, in tune, 21st century. i love mitt romney, but somehow there was a disconnect, particularly with young voters, whether it be young or women voters, across the board, latinos and, of course, african-americans in particular. what i find frustrating is that our message is the message that i think actually resonates with young people, which is entrepreneurship, lower taxes, more opportunit

i'm sure that governor romney is spending some time with his family. and my hope is before the end of the year, though, we have a chance to sit down and talk. there are certain aspects of governor romney's record and his ideas that i think could be very helpful. and, well, to give you one example, i do think he did a terrific job running the olympics. and, you know, that skill set of trying to figure out how do we make something work better applies to the federal government. there are a lot of ideas that i don't think are partisan ideas, but are just smart ideas about how can we make the federal government more customer friendly how can we make sure that we're consolidating programs that are duplicative. how can we eliminate additional waste? he presented some ideas during the course of the campaign that i actually agree with. and so it would be interesting to talk to him about something like that. there may be ideas that he has with rsp
